Richard D. Malin & Associates, Inc.

I was not able to attend the inspection as I was moving from out of town. Richard did not do a detailed job at all. He missed very easy – yet key things that anyone should have caught. He never went up on the roof (every inspector I have had in the past brought a ladder and inspected the room. Richard did a visual with binoculars. Richard missed a leak in the a/c unit that was VERY obvious according to the repair company (was oozing freon). Richard did not check closets. Lastly – like the other reviewer mentioned, I had rotting wood in some spots that he completely missed

Richard provided detailed information on all parts of the house. He was able to fit me in quickly and get everything looked at. This is the third home inspection he has done for me and all have been flawless. Also he provided the inspection report the same day!!!! I have not heard of any other inspector that is so prompt.

From start to finish, the inspection of the home we recently purchased was disappointing. First, Mr. Malin could not be bothered to check the condition of the roof, except by peering through his binoculars from the road far below. We have purchased several homes and every inspector of those homes produced a ladder from his/her truck, scaled it, and examined the roof. Second, be warned, this inspector “doesn’t do appliances.

He was a good home inspector….until he complained that his old school turned into the Obama Academy (he hates black people) and he got a bad DUI while driving his truck and boat home. Loves Trump. Wouldn’t use again.

He was able to work with my schedule and sent me the (very detailed and well-organized) home inspection report the same day. My realtor had a few questions as we were reviewing it and emailed him after hours, and he responded answering every question within minutes. I could not have asked for better service

Sixteen years in our home, we are still finding items that he never disclosed that he knew about. He took advantage of out of town buyers. Have spent over $60K regarding items he should have disclosed. Be careful if your realtor recommends him. Find someone else! No joke! Other reputable home inspectors have heard the same things about Malin.
